It includes 682 buildings and sites known to be at risk from Tneglect, decay or inappropriate development - everything from an early 18th century church designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, to a boathouse built during WWI on an island in the Thames. These are sites that need imagination and investment. In London the scale of this challenge has grown. There are 12 more assets on the Heritage at Risk Register this year compared to 2015. We also know that it’s becoming more expensive to repair many of our buildings at risk. In the face of these challenges we’re grateful for the help and support of all those who continue to champion our historic environment.

  • Green Arc: Summary
    Green Arc: Summary What is the Green Arc? The strap line for the project is `bringing the great outdoors closer to people’. In general terms it is about making the countryside more accessible and improving its quality. In this instance quality is defined as its usability and interest for people, but also its viability as farmland and for traditional management, including grasslands, hedgerows and woodland; and for wildlife. What is the project designed to achieve? To a great extent within the broad aim exactly what is done can be influenced by local communities. One immediate effect is to add another reason for safeguarding the Green Belt in that it gives the Green Belt a positive function in addition to the stated purpose of openness. Other direct improvements may include improvements to footpaths and footpath signage, improvements in land management and projects designed to improve the understanding of the countryside. How will these objectives be achieved? A project team has been established, led by Mary Parodi, Project Director, currently hosted by Essex County Council. There is a steering group comprising national bodies, principally natural England (the Countryside Agency as was), the Forestry Commission etc, the Corporation of London, the Mayor of London’s Office, the Woodland Trust and Thames Chase Community Forest. Essex County Council is a steering group member. Epping Forest District Council is also a steering group member; Epping Forest District Council is the only District Council or local body represented. The principal role of Epping Forest District Council on the steering group has been to contribute local knowledge and expertise, and to try to ensure that the project takes proper account of local feelings and concerns, and will properly engage the community.

The Post Consultation Draft The Mayor’s draft supplementary planning guidance (SPG) the East London Green Grid Framework was published for consultation between November 2006 and February 2007. As a result of the comments received during the consultation period it is proposed to amend the document. As this SPG is linked to the Further Alterations to the London Plan (FALP) it is not possible to publish the final version of the SPG until the statutory process for these alterations has been completed. That process is scheduled to end with the publication of the revised London Plan early in 2008. In the interim period this Post Consultation version of the SPG illustrates the changes that have been made as a result of the comments received. This does not constitute a formal stage in the preparation of the SPG, nor does it provide for a further round of consultation. The status and weight attached to this document as a material consideration within the planning process will be greater as it has gone through a consultation process.
